First-year Dodgers manager Don Mattingly conceded he had some jitters about standing up to give the first speech to the entire team when the position players arrive in camp Monday. "How long have I been thinking about it? The whole winter," Mattingly said when asked about the speech. "A lot of it is talking from your heart, but making sure I have some type of direction. "You make notes over time. There will be parts of that speech from things I might have heard my second spring training that I ever went to as a player." Mattingly said he was nervous when talking to the pitchers and catchers when they reported Wednesday. "It's the first time. You're starting out and you're trying to create an environment and let the players know how you think," Mattingly said.
